MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular maintenance are
essential.
Scheduled maintenance
Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals according to the
maintenance schedule.
For full details of your maintenance schedule, refer to the “Warranty and Service Book”.
Do-it-yourself maintenance
Many maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechanical ability and
a few basic automotive tools.
Note that some maintenance tasks require special tools and skills and are best performed
by qualified technicians. Even if you are an experienced do-it-yourself mechanic, we
recommend that repairs and maintenance be conducted by your Toyota dealer who will
keep a record of maintenance on your vehicle. This record could be helpful should you ever
require Warranty Service.
Regular maintenance will also aid:

Where to go for service?
It makes good sense to take your vehicle to your local Toyota dealer for service.
Toyota technicians are well-trained specialists. And they are receiving the latest service
information through technical bulletins, service tips, and in-dealership training programs.
They learn to work on Toyotas before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are
working on it. Doesn’t that seem like the best way?
Your Toyota dealer has invested a lot of money in special Toyota tools and service
equipment. It helps them to do the job better and at less cost.
Your Toyota dealer’s service department will perform all of the scheduled maintenance on
your vehicle reliably and economically.
